Re: Top 10 Risk Factors for Slip-and-Fall Accidents

by: slipandfall on: October 5, 2012

I agree with your risk factors for Slip and fall and would like to add some new to it.
Snow and ice accumulate on sidewalks, parking lots and roadways.
Stairways aren’t properly maintained and left slippery, broken, poorly lit, or without proper railings.
Roads and sidewalks aren’t properly maintained and are broken, have holes, or are unevenly paved.
Poorly maintained carpets and rugs cause unexpected trips and slips.
Stores and markets fail to clean up after spills or other debris.
